Devuthani Ekadashi (Prabodhini) (देवउठनी एकादशी (प्रबोधिनी)) is a vrat, a fasting observance falling in the Hindu lunar month of कार्तिक. Its position is fixed by tithi rather than by the Gregorian calendar, so the date moves every year and is computed from the panchang. Tradition keeps a fast on the day.
Devuthani Ekadashi (Prabodhini)
देवउठनी एकादशी (प्रबोधिनी)
Hindu month: कार्तिक
Panchang Basis (Tithi Rule)
Each year this observance falls on the Ekadashi tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartika. Because lunar tithis drift against the Gregorian calendar, the English date shifts every year — the tithi rule above is what stays fixed.
